The Chuck E. Cheese would open on August 31st, 1991, as C
huck E. Cheese's Pizza with a Road Stage (One of two installed in Canada). Once the place closed in 1994, it was bought once more by a different company now the building still operates as Schank’s Sport and Grill, and one of the Bullwinkle animatronics that survived.
Stages
